Hello...I'm a little bit nervous after going into exam-enforced hibernation for a few weeks. Not that I posted much anyway. Now that I'm back though - can I ask the regular list peeps what happened to the Monday poem? That was one of my favourite brighten-your-day bits of sinister.

Dear all, was reading Teletext this morning, and noticed a piece about Jo Whiley who'd lost her copy of Tigermilk down the back of her (large) sofa or something, and the report said that it's now worth #1000. Hmmmm. I doubt that somehow. A bit of over-excitement by the reporter I think.
Well I was listening to Jo's show yesterday when they did a piece on Newsbeat about the re-release, and she said she had two copies, one of which she'd lost. The Radio 1 reporter (can't remember who it was) sensationally revealed that copies "were changing hands at up to 800 pounds each". And he sounded over-excited. Still, why shouldn't he be - it has to be the release of the summer. Are there any sinisterines in Brighton? I'm staring down the barrel of forty years of employment starting in September, luckily I get to live in Brighton but I've only been there once. If anyone's got any advice on places to live, and so on mail me. Thank you, you're all lovely. Just time before I go to send Fluffy a virtual get well soon; I would have posted a proper card but I feared it wouldn't get through the door, what with all the other 950 or however many it is now sinister cards already there - byeeeeeeeee (oops) Dom +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
